Onoer the new law municipalities are each
required to elect local boards of health, and
many have done so and made returns to the
State Board of Health, although they are not
required to do this before the middle of Nav.
The State Board is occupied just now in Civ
ing instructions to the local boards The
following have been sent out to the several
towns Form of notice to householders and
physicians to report contagious diseases;
blanks for householder's and physicians
notification of infectious diseases; blanks for
reports of infectious diseases to the State
Board of Health; blanks for the notification
of local boards to teachers, of infected houses
or families; blanks for re-admission Of
scholars from houses where
there have been infectious diseases. A cir
cular has also been printed and sent to the
local boards together with the health act
passed by the legislature. The circular states
that strict performance of certain essential
duties is expected, especially the reporting
to the State Board IF Health of cases of the
contagious diseases which occur within their
Jurisdictions and the preventive management
of the dangerous contagious diseases. Need
less meddlng with private affairs or officious-
ness will not be born by the people, but
when it is clearly the duty of the health
official to interpose his authority to protect the
public there should be no hesitation.
When the people can be made to understand
that thing is for their interest or for the
protection of their health it will rarely occur
that they will fail to support the local board
of health. Therefore is seen the Importance
of the educational work which the sanitary
authorities are in a position to do. Before
active steps are taken to abate nuisance
there should always be the assurance that it
is such in fact and that it can be proved to
be such. The board should notlregard itself
simply as board to hear complaints but
should try to get as accurate an idea as
possible of the sanitary conditions of its
district and as far as possible anticipate evil
results by removing sources of danger. An
accurate record should be kept of all the
proceedings and actions of the board and of
its executive officer.
